I am the head coach of a women little 500 cycling team and an assistant for the men team. However, I consider myself a father first to three beautiful children. M y 16 year-old Addison is my oldest and with me on this trip. Nicholas and Alexandra my 6 year-old twins. I also own a funeral home in Bloomington, Indiana. Fun fact: The movie Breaking Away was filmed when was a freshman at Indiana University in fall of 1978.

In 2012 I asked Bryan Boyle if he was interested in running the Chicago Marathon — two weeks later he asked if I was interested in Ride the Rockies. I got a road bike, got on the tour, and have yet to regret it. This will be my second RTR.
